Blanking on how medians in a triangle work

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sauron [17]3 years ago
4 0

A median cuts a leg of a triangle in half. So for instance, PF being a median means that DP and PE are congruent and have the same length. Consequently, each component triangle (that is, ∆DPC, ∆EPC, ∆EQC, etc) all have the same area.

If <em>A</em> is the area of ∆PCE, then the area of ∆PFE is 3<em>A</em>.

Take PF = 24 to be the base of ∆PFE, and take PC to be the base of ∆PCE. The area of any triangle is equal to 1/2 times the base times the height. But ∆PFE and ∆PCE share the same height (you can see this by dropping an altitude from the vertex E down to the line containing PF), so PC is 1/3 the length of PF, so FC must be 2/3 the length of PF.

So FC has length 2/3 × 24 = 16.

Ratio Question;
SashulF [63]

*Given

Money of Phoebe            - 3 times as much as Andy

Money of Andy                - 2 times as much as Polly

Total money of Phoebe,  - £270

   Andy and Polly

*Solution

Let

B - Phoebe's money

A - Andy's money

L - Polly's money

1. The money of the Phoebe, Andy, and Polly, when added together would total £270. Thus,

                 B + A + L  = £270                     (EQUATION 1)

2. Phoebe has three times as much money as Andy and this is expressed as

 

                 B = 3A

3. Andy has twice as much money as Polly and this is expressed as

                 A = 2L                           (EQUATION 2)

4. This means that Phoebe has ____ as much money as Polly,

                B = 3A

                B = 3 x (2L)

                B = 6L                            (EQUATION 3)

This step allows us to eliminate the variables B and A in EQUATION 1 by expressing the equation in terms of Polly's money only.

5. Substituting B with 6L, and A with 2L, EQUATION 1 becomes,

                 6L + 2L + L = £270

                               9L = £270

                                 L = £30

So, Polly has £30.

6. Substituting L into EQUATIONS 2 and 3 would give us the values for Andy's money and Phoebe's money, respectively.

                 A = 2L                          

                 A = 2(£30)

                 A = £60

Andy has £60

                 B = 6L                        

                 B = 6(£30)

                 B = £180

Phoebe has £180

Therefore, Polly's money is £30, Andy's is £60, and Phoebe's is £180.

Two pieces of lengths 13/3 m and 3/5 m are cut off from a rope 15
garri49 [273]

Hello there! ;) The way you solve this type of problem is you must find common denominators. So simplify 13/3= 4 1/3. So we can do 1/3*5/5=5/15. Next we must do 3/5*3/3= 9/15. So add 5/15+9/15= 14/15. And add the 4+ 14/15=          4 14/15. So then you must subtract 15 - 4 14/15= 10 1/15 I believe. I believe 10 1/15 is the remainder of the rope. You might want to check in with someone else though.

Hope I help! :D
